Critical Success Points

  • Prepare meat and fat chilled in the freezer
  • Use ice during grinding to keep the mixture cold
  • Grind long enough for the mixture to become elastic but not too warm
  • Add the correct amount of shrimp‑shell color and dissolve it completely
  • Cook the sausage only until it floats (3‑4 minutes) and quickly soak in cold water

Safety Warnings

  • Wash hands and utensils thoroughly after handling raw meat
  • Keep meat cold during grinding to prevent bacterial growth
  • Be careful when working with hot oil
  • Food coloring may cause skin irritation; wear gloves if necessary
